Barefoot Retreats Reviews 

We visit North Norfolk a couple of times each year, I strongly believe that the Barefoot properties are not only carefully and truthfully represented they are the best serviced properties we’ve stayed in. Immaculately clean, always well equipped and good communication from the Barefoot office prior to arrival. I am very happy to recommend this agency.

We had a multi-generational family holiday at The Old Rectory last week and loved it! The Barefoot team were very attentive, professional and responsive, in particular Jeylan, Kerry and Zoe who we were in touch with if we had any questions.

We would highly recommend Barefoot and hope to use them again for our next Norfolk holiday!

We were staying at Pattermakers Row last month and I cut my foot on protruding gripper nails where the carpet had come away at the living room door. The sharp tacks pierced my heel in three places. I rang them straight away and they apologised and sent a maintenance man round to basically bash the tacks down with a hammer. No one checked to see how I was following this and when I remarked in an email they said “they didn’t want to disturb the rest of my holiday!”. They then offered me by way of compensation some extra things in my next hamper if we book again. We have used Barefoot for many many houses over the last eight years at least. This is not good service at all, if a child had caught their foot on the tacks it would have been a trip to hospital. Good job this isn’t the USA as they would be sued. I’m not impressed and most of all I’m not impressed with their follow up which was non existent. They charge the most of any rental agencies in Norfolk but they won’t be getting my custom anymore.

Right from the start the staff at Barefoot were excellent in attending to requests in a timely fashion ad furnishing us with all the necessary information.
Staying in one of the Manor House apartments which was of a great standard for the four of us with all the necessary amenities provided.
Proximity to Brancaster beach, shops and The Ship hotel and bar ensured less time spent in the car.
We all enjoyed the various restaurants and pubs along with the Fish Hut for fresh seafood and special mention to Bircham Stores for a hidden gem when it comes to excellent food and service.

We stayed in Seefeld in Docking. Wow! What a house. We loved it - look it up online and the garden is just perfect. The kids loved it as well running around playing water fights in the garden in the sun. The house was well equipped to a high standard and we have already recommended to friends and family - would have no hesitation staying with Barefoot again. Thanks for making our holiday in Norfolk memorable.

The house was brilliantly positioned in Burnham Market. Great central place to explore countryside and seaside
On the whole a good stay but maybe could do with a little bit more fine tuning of things that just make the difference - hairdryers, coat hangers, sharp knives, better pots and pans etc. Things seemed a little tired!
Have to say we found the local shops selling great produce but every shopkeeper we met was thoroughly miserable!
Socious was the best restaurant by far.

Stayed at Brancaster Staithe and Boathouse .
Fantastic house . If you are looking for a large house to cater for 15 + people with 5 acres of garden then look no further . Jeylan was outstanding in her help with booking and very swift in her response time to emails . A couple of points while at the house - were swiftly sorted . Would recommend the house and Barefoot to anyone .
Only slight disappointment was charged £20 on an £8000 booking for child gates !! , that didn’t fit and were acknowledged as not fitting afterwards . A note for next time placed on my file !! £20 slightly soured the experience and customer service . That said fantastic experience definitely book the house !!

Fantastic property which was better than described. Location perfect, just off the main road into the village. Perfect safe garden for our dog. Really well equipped and comfy. Owls to watch at dusk from the lounge! The village was also fabulous with good pub and local store, a great base to explore the coast and with Brancaster beach a safe and easy half mile walk away.

Ash Cottage in Brancaster was a fantastic place to stay - clean, comfortable and well situated, being close to a gorgeous beach and other attractions.
We would definitely recommend this cottage and Barefoot Retreats to anybody wishing to have a self-catering holiday in Norfolk.
Two slight niggles - one of the bedrooms did not have a full-length mirror, and there were not any hooks on the back of doors, which would have been useful for hanging the robes on.
NB The cottage is on a main road, which was not too much of an issue but is worth noting.

As a multi-generational family group, we have been holidaying in Norfolk for over 6 decades. Over the years we've rented houses with several agents and we can honestly say Barefoot are the best. Before our stay questions were answered promptly and politely and once in the property a couple of additional questions and requests were dealt with in the same manner. The house we stayed in was stunning, exceptionally clean, and well equipped, there were extras like robes and slippers and a beautiful locally sourced hamper full of tasty goodies. If you are looking for the perfect stay then look no further. Thank you to the whole team at Barefoot Retreats for a special week 😎

We have stayed with Barefoot Retreats before so we knew we would enjoy a quality experience. The property was lovely, well equipped and provided everything we needed. It was ideally located to enable us to explore the nearby coastline and villages. We will certainly use Barefoot Retreats when we next return and recommend the company to friends and family.

We recently enjoyed a short stay in Cinder Cottage, Ringstead. The cottage is in a lovely rural setting. It is extremely well furnished and equipped and very comfortable in every respect.
I would just mention two things. Firstly the stairs are a little tricky in that they are somewhat steep and narrow with a sharp turn at the bottom of the first set and a similar sharp turn at the top of the second set. Getting a suitcase to the top could be a little difficult. Secondly there is not much room in one of the bedrooms on the first floor. There is a large (very comfortable) bed so only a very small amount of space around the bed - certainly nowhere for any luggage though this can be stored in a cupboard in the other bedroom on this floor. I slept there on my own which was OK but I felt it would be quite a squeeze for a couple. The plus is that this room enjoys a beautiful view over the countryside. We had a meal at The Gin Trap which is virtually next door and would thoroughly recommend it. Beautiful food in a lovely setting,

If you're looking for people you can trust to find a Norfolk property you'll probably end up wanting to buy if you could, then you're in the right place. I doubt we'd ever go with anyone else. Thank you, Nick, the family & Waffle the dog.

The house was wonderful and my family and friends really enjoyed our stay with every amenity available for our use. All facilities were a very high quality and it made it easy to just concentrate on enjoying ourselves. It's perfectly located for visiting the towns and villages of North Norfolk and the beach - and we had lovely meals and hospitality in the local pubs: The White Horse and The Lifeboat Inn.

We have been holidaying in North Norfolk for close to 40 years and this house was the best one we have ever had the pleasure to stay in. Beautifully decorated, immaculately clean, it had comfortable beds and sofas, a good-sized garden with lovely outdoor furniture, a bathroom for every bedroom, and the kitchen with its 2 refrigerators, 2 freezers and 2 dishwashers was outstanding. Every utensil you could wish for was there. We really had a fabulous relaxing holiday due in no small part to this wonderful house. We have already booked it again for next year.

The house was fabulous. All queries and questions in the lead up to our few days were answered promptly and efficiently. The quality of linen/towels/cleanliness was superb. I would definitely use them again

Great well equipped clean accommodation in a lovely spot. Had sunshine all weekend so made use of all the outdoor furniture and beanbags. A good sized dog friendly garden as well.

2nd time with Barfoot, we decided to take a last minute 3 night away, last weekend, so glad we did! cottage at Ringsted was excellent, so clean, well equipped, well maintained & exceeded our expectations. Lovely village, not too far from all the attractions, beaches etc, loved The Gin Trap, service was brilliant & the cute little nursery at the bottom of the lane was brilliant, defiantly going back and will be using Barefoot for sure!

4th time booking with Barefoot and as always we were very happy. The process is very easy and the descriptions and photos of the properties are really clear. Booking was easy and the follow up. We had one minor issue at the property which was sorted immediately. Will be using them again and again. Thank you Barefoot!

Lovely property. Everything work d. Staff at barefoot were at all times very helpful and polite. Made you feel they valued your custom. Would look to book with them again.
